James limped out of Bath's vital 15-14 victory at Newcastle that kept them firmly in the play-off picture.

And the South African fly-half faces a scan on his knee that could decide whether or not he plays any part in next Saturday's home game against Saracens.

A five-point maximum for Bath at the Recreation Ground could be enough to secure a home semi-final next month, although Saracens are still chasing seventh place and possible Heineken Cup qualification.

Bath head coach Steve Meehan acclaimed his "brilliant" players after they fought back from a 14-point interval deficit to ground the Falcons, helped by tries from Shontayne Hape and Michael Claassens.

Meehan said: "I thought it was a great exercise in character and belief, and being able to switch things around at half-time.

"We recognised what we weren't doing well and changed. The players were brilliant.

"The guys worked through not an ideal first half and they left it all to do in the last 40 minutes. So I thought it was a tremendous example of what we are capable of.

"The objective is to win next week and, if we win and win well enough, to get the home semi-final would be terrific."
